suppose the Trial Balance does not agree i.e. there is a difference of
some amount in the totals of the two columns of the Trial Balance. What
will you do with this difference? A different account i.e Suspense Account
is opened with the difference in amount put in this account. This will result
in agreement of Trial Balance. The suspense account with the amount of
difference will be put on the lesser side of the Trial Balance. For example
total of the debit column exceeds the total of the credit column by Rs.500.
This amount of Rs 500 will be written on the credit column against Suspense
Account to make the Trial Balance tally.
The suspense A/c is however a temporary arrangement to make the Trial
Balance agree. This account will remain till the error or errors are rectified,
this account will disappear as soon as the error or errors are rectified
